It is working as designed if apt-get update doesn't care about a
Packages.cd file but instead gets the Packages file, missing packages
from the other CD?
apt-get badly needs to be better documented. And it badly needs better
error messages ("E: Couldn't find package" is no good if it doesn't
tell the user where it looked before deciding it could not find it)
and a --verbose switch.
